How often do you buy groceries?

What types of things do you consider “essential”?

Do you make a list when you go shopping, or just have an idea of what you need?

Do you do one big trip all at once, or do you pick up just enough to make what you’re eating that night/the next day?

    My groceries aren’t interesting, but I had a friend who only ate what went into a mug.

    He carried around a ceramic mug, either collecting free stuff or telling people about his mug to see if they’d put food in it. Free samples, a few grapes, and occasional hand outs all went into the mug. I filled it with soup when he came by.

      Was this wherever he went?

      Did he take it when out to eat with friends or on a date?

      How much did this mug effect his day to day life?

        For the couple months I knew him the mug was either in his hand or clipped to his bag.

        I didn’t see his dates and I didn’t ask, but he came by for dinner once and ate his portion from the mug.

        As far as I saw, it was a great conversation starter, he made a lot of friends and ate reasonably well.
